July 4, 2010 – What Is Heaven and Hell Really?


Rev. David McArthur

As we awaken, we go from experiencing life from the outside in, to experiencing life from the inside out. However, the more we experience the connectedness, the more painful our judgments. We are burdened with our “garbage”. This is “hell”. But we can leave whenever we want.

It is easy to get out of hell (the garbage). There is a way out. Since no one can be in two places at the same time, leave the garbage behind. It’s a choice. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. It is within. We discover that which has real value– that which fills us with pure radiant love. That is God. It is that place of divine connection, infinite love and goodness. We experience a goodness without limit– “heaven”.

Our perceptions change. We begin to see amazing things drawn into our lives. “I’m getting healthy”; “I’m leaving this addiction”; “I feel uplifted and good”. We begin to see heaven in those amazing beings drawn into our lives. They take on parts of consciousness to transform it– that’s who is in heaven. It’s here and now. Look around you. It’s easy to get out of the garbage. Love one another. It’s a choice. Pick someone and love. Welcome to heaven!

June 27, 2010 – Stay on the Phone


Rev. Vic Jenkins

Our purpose on Earth is to learn how to heal and grow through our challenges. However, take a look at that experience that you haven’t forgiven; that you can’t forget. And we not only carry our own wounds, but also the wounds of the collective unconscious, the race memory. So there is a lot of healing to be done. And we will still face challenges, illness, even death.

In the face of challenges in our lives, we are programmed to use responses like “I’m not good enough.” “I don’t know enough.” “I’m ugly.” This is “parrot talk” that we “parrot” to ourselves constantly. Do not respond to challenges “in kind”. Take progresssive, constructive action. Use affirmations. Remember, forgiveness is your answer. We are children of God with those attributes. Ask, “What is mine to do?” Then pray, “Reveal that which needs to be revealed. Heal that which needs to be healed.” This creates a powerful force for healing.

Ask, “What is mine to do?”

Pray, “Reveal that which needs to be revealed. Heal that which needs to be healed.”

June 20, 2010 – Creating With The Father’s Power


Rev. David McArthur with Ray Faulkenberry

Jesus showed us authority and creative power flowed from Father|God through Him as a spiritual being. The more He attuned to that greater creative power, the more that power moved in and thru His being. He showed us the Oneness which we can experience and touch within our own spiritual self. The authority that we have to direct and choose what comes forth in our world is a picture of that father-son flow. The creative power moves through us when we say, “yes, I choose this creation,” and then that creation comes through into our life. The feminine nature of the Divine is intuition, that capacity that we have to receive higher understanding and direct it into the purpose of our lives. Recognizing when there is something that aligns with our purpose, we are then the instruments thru which the creative power comes into existence.

The creative masculine in us each asks, “What is my purpose?“ The first step to manifesting the divine power that is within you is the alignment to your purpose. It’s that first point when you accept the divine creative power moving through you. The purpose of your being is to receive that creative power and give it expression as far as you let it go.

2nd is“doing your one”. It is doing that which is yours to do. Once you say yes and accept that the purpose of your being is to receive and express the divine creative power, ask what do you need to do to own it, to align with that creative energy that is flowing through you?

3rd. The next step is one of the great steps in creation. The step that uplevels the quality of what is going to take place is letting go. Non attachment. We limit this process sometimes because we put a ceiling on what can be accomplished. That’s when we just keep pushing and hammering at it with our will because we “know what the result should be”. But we must let it go to be what it can be. It uplevels. It goes to the higher fulfillment of our purpose when we let it go, when we are unattached to the result. Spirit is moving through you for your purpose – the expression of who you are and what you are about. It’s what we’ve been talking about in terms of the higher male energy of the heart. Where we go into that deep coherence with Divine Intelligence and creative flow by the nonattachment.

4th. Respond in integrity with who you are. Spirit is not there to empower another’s purpose through you; Spirit is there to empower your purpose through you. When you align with that integrity – regardless of how it might look – Spirit moves through you for that purpose which you are about. It expands and carries it forward in the way that is highest for you. It is Spirit which determines the result. Who of us knows what the result will be?

The very highest is brought forth by that power, that love, that consciousness that flows through us. It is wonderful creative energy from the very highest, opening, taking us forward. For each one of us it is now present in your life, lifting you, blessing you. When you align with it, when you go to that place of integrity in your being. there is only one possible result: that it will be good!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

June 13, 2010 – Walking by Faith, Not Fear


Rev. Denese Schellink

Is fear or faith guiding your life? Fear is a sure sign your are trusting in your own power. However, you do not have to stay in energy that does not feel good. When you have accepted circumstances that make you feel uncomfortable, you have been called to see more clearly what you are not living so you can go to what is your calling. It is what you signed up for! Say yes to your Divine appointment. If you knew who walked beside you, fear would be impossible!

Everything is planned for your good. You arrived with your spiritual DNA already coded with all you need to have. All you need is within you. There is peace already within – prosperity already, love already within you.

Peter knew his truth. And just for a moment he trusted, and he walked on water! But then he saw the wind and the storm in the world around him, and he had doubts. When the wind in your life blows, go within to your truth. Know that there is a Presence and a Power inside of you. Know God is your Source. Walk by faith.

June 6, 2010 – Power of Commitment


Rev. David McArthur

When you get that pull on your heart, that impossible thing that needs to be done anyhow, that’s God talk. Yes, there can be other lovely things that pull on your heart, so check in with Spirit. This is something different which is really what you are. Guidance is a picture of a state of consciousness that is already complete. Spirit is saying this is yours and now is the time. Go forward, take some steps to manifestation– buy that ticket! “The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.”

Blocks are not wrong or bad, but they are not guidance. Really listen to your heart. Seek clarity. We are guided by Infinite Intelligence because we are one with It, and It will manifest whatever is in intention because it is already in Spiritual Mind. And Infinite Love will give it. You are an instrument of Divine Love, upliftment to all in your world. That is why it was on your heart in the first place.

Affirm, “I am guided by Infinite Wisdom, and prospered by divine Love.”

May 30, 2010 – Transcendence Equation Revisited


Rev. Rita Marie Johnson

Coherence starts with feeling appreciation in our hearts. Turn away from the problem to this feeling through prayer – move into the heart of God. The most coherent state is love and appreciation. It brings healing, balance, and wholeness. “How efficient prayer can be!” Go into prayer for immediate guidance, without waiting for years for an answer. Then act on it. Do not put any more time and attention into it. Be at ease.

Actualize potential. Shine your light. Shine it all the way out! Act on it.

In prayer, from your connection to God, ask, “What is mine to do?” Fill your heart with appreciation and get life guidance. Bring it in with clarity and great, great joy!

Shine your light. Shine it all the way out!

May 23, 2010 – The Power of Compassion


Rev. David McArthur

In taking on this life we took on limitations we agreed to transform. They drain us, and they keep coming up. Know there is still wholeness, it is part of a greater good. Address the limitation, bring about healing. Transform it by moving from hurt to peace.

Allow yourself to really feel the power of your connection to God flow into you and through you. It is love. It is compassion, the experience that you feel in response to feeling hurt. It flows in response to the hurt of another, as well, because we are one.

Open to feel God’s love and compassion flowing to the part which is hurting, and move to compassion and peace. Live that law; become the law. As you live the compassion the pattern forms in the world around you. Move to a place of compassion in your heart, no matter the situation. We came to heal and transform all that we touch in the Earth. Move from hurt to peace through the power of compassion. “The unadulterated love of one person can nullify the hate of millions.” – Mahatma Gandi

Affirm,

“In the presence of hurt, I choose compassion.”

“In the presence of hurt, I choose compassion.”

“In the presence of hurt, I choose compassion.”

May 16, 2010 – The Prince and the Pauper


Rev. David McArthur

Emilie Cady wrote, “It is time for us to awake to right thoughts, and know that we are not servants, but children, and if children then heirs. …Heirs of all wisdom, …to all love, …of all strength, all life, all power, all good.”

The heir is the spiritual self, the spiritual being that you are. It is not this marvelous ego that has been developed for us to dance through the world. The ego guides this temporary persona that we have jumped into. It doesn’t know how to be the heir. When you journeyed into life, it wasn’t that you weren’t to meet the experiences that were there, those of abundance and lack, of fear and joy, of peace and harmony and of conflict, because those are ideas within this realm that we journey. The ego is to be cared for by the spiritual self, which guides it into being an instrument to touch the world and know its goodness.

When Jesus said “the kingdom is at hand”, he meant that we can touch life and experience the presence of God. We can experience the goodness of the realm, its beauty, its wholeness, its abundance. We can know the Presence in every experience, and that is the kingdom of heaven, and it is here and now. Just as people from the court go ahead of their prince announcing his coming and making easy his way, know and affirm,

“Divine Love goes before me, making easy, joyous, and successful my way.”

May 9, 2010 – A Mother’s Divine Vision


Rev. David McArthur

Motherhood connects us with a powerful aspect of the Divine Presence, that of the nurturing Divine Mother. We get to touch an aspect of what God is (knowing there is no place where God ends and we start). A mother awakens to a spiritual vision, seeing her child as a spiritual being, seeing the potential of that soul in the life experience. She is always calling forth that potential. The mother sees a wonderful, beautiful, radiant being.

The expression of that Divine Mother principle is in you whether you are male or female; it is a part of your connection with the Divine. This spiritual Divine Vision sees the Christ in your being, that level where you are one with the presence and power of God, saying it’s time to step up into your being– it’s time to get on with what you are about, who you are.

Accept the vision that is held of you by God. You are a radiant, powerful, intelligent, purposeful, spiritual being. You are here about what your soul has committed to do. You have the full power and intelligence and capability to accomplishing everything that is on your heart, and you are a blessing to everyone in your life! That is the vision in God’s mind of who you are. Accept it with these words, “I am a child of God! A blessing to all I meet!” It is the truth. It is who you are. It is what you are here for. What you are is so magnificent, and God sees it!

“I am a child of God! A blessing to all I meet!”

May 2, 2010 – The Divine Pattern In Us All


Rev. David McArthur

“Know ye not that ye are gods?”

“Know the white (that which is illumined) but keep to the black (that which is yet to be illumined, as your issues, or the potential of all): be a pattern for the world. If you are a pattern for the world, the Tao will be strong inside you and there will be nothing you can’t do.” – Lao-tzu

In the Transfiguration, Jesus showed us the pattern of who we really are. We can see this when we raise our awareness through our faith, our openness to a higher order, and love. Through the grace of pure love which is always present, we see both the impersonal principle of Divine Law as well as the personal guidance of the Divine expressing in our lives. Receive this into your being. We are the beloved “in whom I Am well pleased”.

Repeat, “I am God’s beloved child.”

See in yourself the pattern of divine power and radiant light. Say yes to the power, the radiant light, the wholeness. Be the pattern. For the world.

“I am God’s beloved child.”
